Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced bullous pemphigoid (ICI-BP) is a clinically debilitating immune-related adverse event in need of novel therapeutic approaches, as conventional treatment can counteract intended tumour immunity. Here we demonstrate that interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 expression is elevated in ICI-BP similar to conventional autoimmune BP, and further demonstrate partial and complete disease clearance with dupilumab in four patients with ICI-BP. These data indicate that IL-4Rα inhibition may be a promising new therapy for ICI-BP.

Abstract
Skin cancer is one of the most widespread cancers, with a significant global health effect. UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells triggers them to grow and proliferate out of control, resulting in cancer development. Two common types of skin cancer include melanoma skin cancer (MSC) and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, and NMSC includes basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and other forms. The incidence of skin cancer is increasing in part owing to a demographic shift toward an aging population, which is more prone to NMSC, imposing a considerable financial strain on public health services. The introduction of immunostimulatory approaches for cancer cell eradication has led to significant improvements in skin cancer treatment. Over the last three decades, monoclonal antibodies have been used as powerful human therapeutics besides scientific tools, and along with the development of monoclonal antibody production and design procedures from chimeric to humanized and then fully human monoclonal antibodies more than 6 monoclonal antibodies have been approved by the food and drug administration (FDA) and have been successful in skin cancer treatment. In this review, we will discuss the epidemiology, immunology, and therapeutic approaches of different types of skin cancer.

Abstract
Manipulating the immune system by blocking the immune checkpoint receptors is the basis of immunotherapy, a relevant tool in current clinical oncology. The strategy of blocking the immune checkpoints (Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors, ICI) consists of using monoclonal antibodies to inhibit the interaction between ligand and inhibitory receptors from triggering a complete activation of helper and cytotoxic T cells to fight against tumour cells. Immunotherapy has benefited patients with diverse cancers such as stomach, lung, melanoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, among others. Unfortunately, a growing number of reports have indicated that the ICI treatment also can show a dark side under specific conditions; some of the adverse effects induced by ICI are immunosuppression, opportunistic infections, and organ-specific alterations. This review discusses some immunologic aspects related to these unwanted effects.

Abstract
The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has dramatically altered the landscape of therapy for multiple malignancies, including urothelial carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma and gastric cancer. As part of their anti-tumor properties, ICIs can enhance susceptibility to inflammatory side effects known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs), in which the skin is one of the most commonly and rapidly affected organs. Although numerous questions still remain unanswered, multi-omics technologies have shed light into immunological mechanisms, as well as the correlation between ICI-induced activation of immune systems and the incidence of cirAE (cutaneous irAEs). Therefore, we reviewed integrated biological layers of omics studies combined with clinical data for the prediction biomarkers of cirAEs based on skin pathogenesis. Here, we provide an overview of a spectrum of dermatological irAEs, discuss the pathogenesis of this "off-tumor toxicity" during ICI treatment, and summarize recently investigated biomarkers that may have predictive value for cirAEs via multi-omics approach. Finally, we demonstrate the prognostic significance of cirAEs for immune checkpoint blockades.

Abstract
Since the first Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor was developed, tumor immunotherapy has entered a new era, and the response rate and survival rate of many cancers have also been improved. Despite the success of immune checkpoint inhibitors, resistance limits the number of patients who can achieve a lasting response, and immune-related adverse events complicate treatment. The mechanism of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) is unclear. We summarize and discuss the mechanisms of action of immune checkpoint inhibitors, the different types of immune-related adverse events and their possible mechanisms, and describe possible strategies and targets for prevention and therapeutic interventions to mitigate them.

Abstract
Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are monoclonal antibodies which, by disrupting interactions of immune checkpoint molecules with their ligands, block regulatory immune signals otherwise exploited by cancers. Despite revolutionary clinical benefits, CPI use is associated with an array of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that mirror spontaneous autoreactivity. Severe irAEs necessitate pausing or stopping of CPI therapy and use of corticosteroids and/or other immunomodulatory interventions. Despite increasingly widespread CPI use, irAE pathobiology remains poorly understood; its elucidation may point to targeted mitigation strategies and uncover predictive biomarkers for irAE onset in patients, whilst casting new light on mechanisms of spontaneous immune-mediated disease. This review focuses on common CPI-induced irAEs of the gut, skin and synovial joints, and how these compare to immune-mediated diseases such as ulcerative colitis, vitiligo and inflammatory arthritis. We review current understanding of the immunological changes reported following CPI therapy at the level of peripheral blood and tissue. Many studies highlight dysregulation of cytokines in irAE-affected tissue, particularly IFNγ and TNF. IrAE-affected tissues are also predominantly infiltrated by T-cells, with low B-cell infiltration. Whilst there is variability between studies, patients treated with anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/PDL-1 therapies seem to exhibit CD8+ T-cell dominance, with CD4+ T-cells dominating in those treated with anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) monotherapy. Interestingly, CD8+CXCR3+ T-cells have been reported to be elevated in gastrointestinal, dermatological and musculoskeletal -irAE affected tissues. These findings may highlight potential opportunities for therapeutic development or re-deployment of existing therapies to prevent and/or improve the outcome of irAEs.

Abstract
Therapeutic options for treating advanced melanoma have progressed rapidly in recent decades. Until 6 years ago, the regimen for treating advanced melanoma consisted mainly of cytotoxic agents such as dacarbazine and type I interferons. Since 2014, anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD1) antibodies have been recognized as anchor drugs for treating advanced melanoma, with or without additional combination drugs such as ipilimumab, but the efficacies of these immunotherapies are not fully satisfactory. In this review, we describe the development of the currently available anti-PD1 Abs-based immunotherapies for advanced melanoma, focusing on their efficacy and immune-related adverse events (AEs), as well as clinical trials still ongoing for the future treatment of advanced melanoma.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, mediate intercellular communication by delivering their contents, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, to distant target cells. EVs play a role in the progression of several diseases. In particular, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) levels in exosomes are associated with cancer progression. Furthermore, exosomes are being used for new drug-delivery systems by modifying their membrane peptides to promote their intracellular transduction via micropinocytosis. In this review, we aim to show that an efficient drug-delivery system and a useful therapeutic strategy can be established by controlling the molecular docking and intracellular translocation of exosomes. We summarise the mechanisms of molecular docking of exosomes, the biological effects of exosomes transmitted into target cells, and the current state of exosomes as drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), including monoclonal antibodies to programmed death 1, programmed death ligand 1, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4, have provided great therapeutic benefits for cancer patients at advanced stages. However, the introduction of ICI frequently results in the development of immune-related adverse events (irAE) through activation of autoreactive T cells. Here, we present three cases of cancer patients with cutaneous irAE, including development of de novo psoriasis and exacerbation of pre-existing psoriasis. Interestingly, these patients shared an altered histological feature characterized by loss of epidermal CD1a+ cells, namely Langerhans cells (LC), in the psoriasiform lesions in contrast to "conventional psoriasis" exhibiting unchanged or activated LC. A possible underlying mechanism was that ICI-mediated hyperactivation of effector T cells contributed to aggravation or establishment of psoriasis phenotype, which might be associated with direct cytotoxicity or expulsion of LC from the epidermis.
